BIOCOMPATIBLE HYDROGELS, SYSTEMS INCLUDING THE HYDROGELS, AND METHODS OF USING AND FORMING SAME

摘要

Hydrogel compositions and methods of forming and using the hydrogel compositions are disclosed. Exemplary hydrogel compositions are biocompatible and can be used for various applications, including vitreous substitutes, adhesives, and drug delivery compositions. Further, exemplary hydrogel compositions have desirable properties, such as clarity, refractive index, viscosity and elastic modulus that are the same as or similar to the same properties of a healthy vitreous in an eye.
